Made to Crave Day 1

I'm back!!! I have been doing a couple of studies the last few weeks at our church so that's where I've been. We just finished Love and Respect. WOW! Talk about stepping on your toes. I never realized that a lot of my thoughts about marriage and relationships were based on the world's view and not God's word. If any of ya'll do be prepared that the first 5 chapters hit women hard. We had many girls in our group quit because they couldn't handle it.

Another big thing is Grant went to the front of the church yesterday. He became a Christian on April 3rd. During all those bad storms. He will be baptized the next time my dad comes for a visit.

S- The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in Heaven. Hebrews 1:3

0- Unsettled- I never would have used this word but its true. The whole last year I've felt very unsettled but I'm finally seeing the light. I took on losing weight and I kept 25lbs off for a year now. Still trying to be content in that. Our Sunday School class at church went through a split back in the fall and things finally seem to be settling down from that. It was hard for Dan and I not to take it personally since we are the leaders of the class. In fact our class just came back from a family mission trip to N.O. It was amazing and honestly the trip would have never happened if we hadn't split. There is now unity.
Right now I feel unsettled because Dan is leaving on the 27th for Senegal Africa for 9 days. I'm already nervous about him being gone and wondering about the what if's like what if I have one of my panic attacks, if something happens to him, etc... Also with my groups of friends. So many of our close friends have moved away in the last few months. I start wondering ok who's going to be my boys friends. Who is going to keep them out of trouble if they don't have that close group of christian friends. And the other thing has me unsettled in Grant's school. We love but no one from our church or neighborhood goes to that school. He's fine and is thriving. But sometimes I wish he did go to school with people we see on a regular basis. I struggle with keeping there or testing him again for one of the magnet schools. We finally have settled on Micah doing another year of preschool since his birthday is Sept. 26th. He could use an extra year.

A- I need to remember that God sees the big picture. That being unsettled is a good thing sometimes because I grow from feeling this way.

P- Lord, encourage me in all my battles that I have going on in my life. Help me to fight them with your word and give me complete understanding.
